(b) Total contributions per capita at 1986 constant prices ($) (These include contributions to both the General Fund and Special Appeals)

The information is given in the tables at constant 1986 prices. The constant prices allow for the effects of both national rates of inflation and changing dollar exchange rates. The 1986 figures are based on provisional population estimates.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will give such information as he has, in the form of a list, in rank order, by size of total contribution in constant prices, of those member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Development Assistance Committee that provided funds for the United Nations children's fund for each year since 1980.
